Investigate Musk's targeting of government climate workers

To: Sen. Lee, Sen. Romney, Rep. Maloy

From: A verified voter in Salt Lake City, UT

December 7, 2024

Elon Musk's actions of publicly sharing the names and positions of government employees working on climate-related issues raise serious concerns about potential harassment, intimidation, and threats to their personal safety. His reposting of this information, which has garnered tens of millions of views and negative comments, exposes these civil servants to unwarranted attacks simply for carrying out their duties. While the information he revealed is publicly available, singling out individuals in this manner and calling their roles into question is a disturbing tactic that could compel qualified professionals to resign out of fear, indirectly furthering Musk's stated goal of downsizing the federal workforce. This undermines the ability of federal agencies to effectively serve the public interest. I urge you to investigate whether Musk's conduct constitutes illegal doxing or other violations that threaten government employees and impair their ability to do their jobs free from intimidation. Protecting civil servants from malicious targeting is essential for maintaining a functional public sector. Accountability measures may be necessary to deter such concerning behavior from private citizens seeking to influence government operations through harassment.
